Full Version: Worst Provinces for Chinadians to live in

I would think the east coast provinces are the $hittiest places to live for a Chinese. There is absolutly no asian influence in these parts. (I live in New Brunswick)

lol oh....that sucks. anything beyond quebec, i think there are a total of 100 people.

I think the worst Canadian province for Asians would be Alberta. It's like the Southern United States over there, from what I've heard.

Right now, Alberta's the place to go if you want the dough. I wouldn't mind moving there for a few years and get rich, before moving back to Vancouver or Toronto.

i think every province, main cities are fine. but if you go too far away from them, even in ontario, you run into red necks. LOL. cuz i know some people in calgary that are straight.

I've heard some bad treatment Asians have gotten in Newfoundland.

Are you serious? I have friends from Nfld and they loved it there. They talk about Nfld all the damn time lol, it kinda makes me want to move there. embarassedlaugh.gif

One of my friends lived in a city with 400 people that was like 8 hours from St. John's and he has nothingbut good stuff to say lol.

Worst is probably Alberta. :/ Great place to make money though. But yeah I know a lot of ethnics, who after becoming rich in Alberta, are itching to leave (with their money).

I used to live in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I loved it too lol. It was a rather small community, and as such, the people there seemed a lot more warm, friendly, tight-knit. Innocent too. I guess it's much harder to do that if you're living in a big city like Vancouver or Toronto (especially) though, since things get a lot more complicated and you need to know how to protect yourself. But the majority of the people here aren't bad either. I really do love Vancouver.

I can't believe you put Ontario and rednecks in the same sentence.

I live in Fredericton. The Asian community here has grown tremedously over the past two decades. Since it is a University city we have more students than acutal immigrants but some do decide to stay here. From what my Chinese friends tell me the community is well organized.

The fastest growing community here is actually Korean. The NB government has been promoting the province to would-be immigrants in Korea for the past few years. Well over 100 families have moved here in the past 5 years.

They actually have a pretty big chinese group thing in Halifax. Fredericton for being the capital of new brunswick, it isn't that big and diverse as it should be.

Hamlet was probably exaggerating.

nah, he landed in toronto when he was like... iuno a few months old... moved to nfld when he was in grade 5... then moved to nfld... moved back to toronto in grade 12.

Quebec is pretty bad.

In the sense that most Chinese come to Canada to learn English. When they go to Quebec and learn English, they get shunned.

lol who the hell goes to québec when they want to learn english instead of french? what a bunch of retards lol...

It's because it's easier to immigrate there than to somewhere else in Canada.

You've got to be fu-king kidding me. They have the toughest selection process out of any province I'd say. (B/c of the Canada-Québec Accord) They're so picky because they prefer immigrants who already have a working knowledge of French.

Moving to Québec while wanting to learn English is so counterintuitive. FFS the children of new immigrants are FORCED to go to school in French.
chymali
Oh really? Okay. My information is a little outdated.

I was speaking on terms of six years ago. My aunt and uncle couldn't, no matter what they did, immigrate straight to Vancouver or Toronto, but they made it easily into Quebec.

But... speaking of the schools there... they teach french better than we teach english here. It's pretty sad really. They speak fluent English, but all we can muster is Bonjour and some random phrases.

You either got your sentence backwards or you live in québec lol.

Yeah, they're forced to. Québécois need a good knowledge of English to do well outside their province. What's French to someone outside of Québec? Lol. I don't think I've ever spoken to someone in French outside of a French class. Hell, west of Ontario, no provincial curricula put French as a mandatory course.
chymali
Oops. It's backwards. It must be getting late, so I'm losing my mind.

My friend came from Quebec, and I was surprised to hear. Her english was exceptional. When she spoke french with me, it was pretty funny.

We learn all these stupid phrases that no one will use in real life, so when she spoke with me, it consisted of her asking something reasonable (How are you?), and me answering with something completely weird (It is sunny.).

Hey Dante. It's been so long since I've moved here to Vancouver (about 13 years now, since I came here when I was around 7). Let's see... So apart from most of the folks over there being quite friendly and nice, the seafood was also quite abundant and cheap (I LOVE SEAFOOD). I remember when we could buy a lobster for $2 each. And, I do think the shops there close every Sunday (it's tradition). Stores used to close really early anyway every day. Not much to do in terms of entertainment, but that gave us an opportunity to enjoy family life better. Meaning, we would often go as a family out to the parks and out to the oceanside. I can't remember exactly which location that was, but if you ever do end up going to the oceanside, let me know if the giant anchor that's supposed to be piled atop some rocks is still there.
Dante
That sounds exactly like New Brunswick. Did you go to church while you were there?
